About Julia
Julia Spaude is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people managing anger, stress, anxiety, and life changes. She keeps conversations direct and compassionate so clients can start using new skills quickly. Julia believes people bring strengths and insight to sessions and she builds on those assets.
She uses evidence-informed approaches to help with practical problems. Sessions focus on real-world steps like changing unhelpful thoughts, practicing acceptance, and building routines that reduce reactivity.
Background and approach
Julia also uses mindfulness exercises to help people notice and slow down strong emotions. Julia has seven years of experience working with concerns that include trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, relationship and intimacy questions, and career stress. She also supports people dealing with sleep trouble, chronic health challenges, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related struggles.
Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, and managing impulsivity. In sessions she mixes problem-solving with coaching so clients leave with clear next steps. Conversations are collaborative; goals are set together and adjusted as needed.
Clients who want practical tools and steady support to change patterns and improve day-to-day functioning often find this approach useful. Julia practices in Washington and holds the LICSW credential, which stands for Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. She offers several remote session formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, then commit to actions that match personal values. It can help with anger, anxiety, and motivation by shifting the focus from fighting feelings to building a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for managing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and impulse-driven behaviors.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each client to choose techniques that fit their goals, personality, and daily routine. That may mean trying different tools for a few sessions and adjusting as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, or travel. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing coaching between appointments. These options make it simpler to keep momentum and use skills in real-life moments when they matter most.
